lagging legs

[danny474]

I believe my legs are my weakness, I'm just after some tips/suggestions to bring them up to par.

atm i train all muscle groups once a week.

on leg day i normally do;

BB squats 4 x 6-12 reps

Hack squats 4 x 6-12 reps

leg press 4 x 6 reps

leg extensions 4 x 12-20 reps

calf raises 4 x 12-20reps

Cheers

Apart from missing Lunges which are awesome for Legs the rest looks fine for growth but the numbers mean nothing.

Doesn't matter if you 3x12, 4x8, 5x2 ... whatever numbers you write are meaningless.

Rather can you describe how your workout goes for you. Are you bent over feeling dizzy on the 8th rep and is there someone behind you at that point forcing you to go down and squat 2 more times at that point?

Leg Extensions, do you get tired before the lactic acid pain arrives or does the pain stop you from doing any more.

And how about your eating prior to and after the workout where it counts? Legs can get stronger and still stay the same size if protein and carb intake isn't up to speed at critical timings.

Eat to get big is just as important as the exercises themselves...something to consider :twisted:

if your diets good that program should make your quads grow pretty good

are you doing hamstrings in another workout

How long have you been using 6 - 12 rep ranges. I personally develop in lower ranges - but I know a few of the elite/pros on the forum are using high rep routines. Could be something to think about.

I stay low rep for 4 weeks then one week 100rep sets on legs;

e.g

Leg Press 3 sets 80/100/120kg

Leg extension 3 sets 100reps

Walking lunges from front door of gym to end of Driveway approx 200m.

Calfs 2 sets 100 pulses 50/50 under halfway then over half way.
